Fly Tying Class
SFF offers a Beginning Fly Tying class. Students will learn to tie five flies that will develop the basic skills that are the foundation for tyers. All tools are provided. Class is limited to 6-8 students to maintain a low teacher-to-student ratio. Our next schedule class begins March 18, 2026 and will run on five consecutive Wednesdays.

Fly Tying Night
Our next Fly Tying Night will be January 22nd! 6:00-9:00 pm. Our next drop-in, open fly tying night is held at Churchkey, 910 12th St., Modesto. This is a non-structured, tie-what-you-want event just to have an opportunity to be among friends and share some flies, lies, ideas, and tips. The monthly tying night is currently held on the 3rd Thursday of each month, but that can change depending on venue availability. New tyers are always welcome and are encouraged to attend.
